| | Rules on existing mail not working For some reason, my rules will not work on any existing mail. I just imported a slew of emails from another program I had used for a while and put them into a new "Import" folder. I try to run the rules on them and it does nothing at all. It says that it's applying the rules but it's not. Any ideas? |

| | Re: Rules on existing mail not working I have this same issue and yes I select the rule and the box to run the rule on. A progress bar appears and when finished it says the rule has been applied to the inbox but no messages are moved to the appropriate folder.
